Error: Connection Gets Dropped (Windows® 2000 and XP)
When attempting a data connection with Sprint PCS
Connection Manager Software, the connection gets dropped
as soon as it is established. (The status goes from
“Connecting” and “Connected” back to “Click ‘
GO ’ to
Connect.”)
Reinstalling the Sprint Mobile Broadband
Card Driver
There is a Sprint Mobile Broadband Card driver for each
supported Windows operating system. Unless the appropriate
driver for your version of Windows is installed, you will not be
able to establish a network connection with the card. This
section provides instructions on verifying that you have the
correct card driver installed.
